Not sure if this is reason to celebrate, but I have my completed physical!! YEA!! I realize that this is not a huge jump, but right now it feels like I am lost! I have completed the home study and I guess waiting on a copy of it and then???? The truth is I really don't know. I'm a little confused, but still trusting that all of this is going to work out and in the end we will have a beautiful girl. I almost put BABY but we have requested a girl up to 3 years old, so who knows? I sure don't, but I have a feeling that God does, and she is going to be the perfect fit for our family. I know that there will be struggles, moments of doubt, and pain, but all in all I trust that God puts us where we need to be at the right time. To be honest it is a bit frustrating when people ask so when is she going to be here and I have to keep repeating we aren't really sure. I just keep telling myself that all of this PAPERWORK is going to be worth it when I see that precious face. It has been well over a year now that I have pondered the whole adoption thing and now it is a reality and for that I am very thankful even if we are moving along like a turtle!!!
I have absolutely the same thoughts. Our home study is still in review...we are paperchasing. I have papers that need to now go to the appropriate Chinese Consulates and once the home study is out of review, we can apply for the I-800A. But, it's a hard point...not much is happening to really tell people, but it is happening, just at a snails pace. Hang in there...I know it WILL be worth it when we bring our daughters home.

Sometimes i wake up ready to take it all on and other times i think how can i possibly handle all this. I know in the end i will be looking at my daughter and will forget it all.....i just have to take it one step at a time. It doesn't help when everyone wants to know when she's coming. Hang in there :)
ReplyDeleteIt is SO worth it especially, for the child. : - ) I remember when people didn't believe I was really going to get my son from Colombia... about 20 years agao. : - )))
